Greco-Roman Wrestling
Basic Rules
- Cant touch your opponent below the waist- so most of the moves you can really do are throws.
- Plus you cant use your legs to trip, or execute other moves
- You still have 3 two minute periods but to win you have to win 2 of the 3 rounds
- Each period is broken up into 60 seconds for neutral position and two 30 second ground wrestling phases
- Who ever scores the most points in the first sixty seconds is the first to be on top for the first 30 second ground wrestling phase and the person with the least points gets the next 30 second phase to be on top
- If nobody scores in the first 60 seconds then a coin is flipped to see who is on top first
- Period is decided by who accumulated the most points during both standing and ground phases
Scoring
- Takedown= 1-5 points: one for just taking him to his stomach or side on the mat, three for a takedown taking him to his stomach or side then to his back or for a throw, five for a throw that brought your opponents feet above his head
- Reversal= 1 point
- Exposure or when your opponents back faces the mat= 2-3 points
- Penalty= 1-2 points
- Out of bounds= 1 point
